Course details

More about this course
  • The assessment of patients and clients lies at the heart of nursing practice. It involves identifying current and future health needs as a basis for the planning of therapeutic interventions.
  • On this course, you'll have the chance to analyse the community in which you work in order to consider ways of responding to public health challenges.
  • You'll explore what it means to assess the health needs of a community, and understand how a community health needs assessment can contribute to overall health performance.
  • Examining national and local health priorities, you'll reflect upon what a community is, and how you can profile its health needs in order to intervene effectively.
  • Alongside nursing experts at Coventry University, you'll identify epidemiological, comparative, and corporate approaches to a community health needs assessment, examining the merits of each.
  • You'll also consider how a systematic approach can be used by nurses to contribute to a local health needs assessment, before reflecting on how you can bring all your learning together to help a community to become healthier.
  • This course is designed for experienced nurses wanting or needing to extend their understanding of how nurses can act as promoters of health.
